Movies the giraffe watched in 2020: July (30 movies items)

"First viewing - July 20th I read Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas and absolutely loved it, which is why I've put off watching the film for so long. I knew it couldn't possibly live up to it. It's been enough time now, however, since I've visited Odd's world so I figured I could give this a fair shake. First off, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the casting choices. Second, it's been so long that I'd forgotten some of the details of the original story, so I was able to roll with it for the most par"

A Complete Review of Stephen Sommers's work (9 movies items)

" Cast : Anton Yelchin, Willem Dafoe, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Addison Timlin What was it about? In a California desert town, a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities encounters a mysterious man with a link to dark, threatening forces. My two cents: I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for the late Anton Yelchin, I thought I might as well check it out.

" Odd (Yes, that's his name) can see things other people can't. Some people believe him (his girlfriend and the town Chief played by Willem Dafoe), others can't or won't. I can't tell you how much I wish this had gotten a sequel. It was underrated and there hasn't been anything like it in a while. Oh, well. Back to sad dramas for Hollywood. Gotta make those Academy Award winners."

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for the late Anton Yelchin, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I was amazed by how disappointing the damned thing actually turned out to be, especially since it has such a solid rating on IMDb (no less than 6.9). Indeed, even though Anton Yelchin did what he could, his character was just rather boring and the other characters were even more tedious to behold. At least, I have to admit that Addison Timlin was pretty cute but I couldn't care less about their boring romance. Basically, it was the biggest issue with the whole thing, the fact that everything was just so boring.

"Being a fan of books by Dean Koontz and knowing nothing about this character he's created, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Odd Thomas is a cook who has a unique set of talents passed on to him by his mother, namely the ability to see the dead, as well as demonic creatures whose appearance heralds disastrous events events. As the paranormal goings on reach a climax in his town he is forced to take action to find out what's wrong and essentially prevent the apocalypse. This was a fantas"
